what percent more than 1/3 is 3/5?
(1/3) (x+1) = 3/5
x+1 = 9/5
x = 4/5 = .8
.8*100 = 80 %
check
add .8*1/3 to 1/3
.8/3 + 1/3 = 1.8/3
18/30 = 3/5 sure enough
It's wrong :(
80 % is correct.
or, convert to have the same denominator.
1/3 = 5/15
3/5 = 9/15
9 is 5+4, or 80% more than 5
To find the percentage by which 3/5 is greater than 1/3, you can follow these steps:
Step 1: Find the difference between 3/5 and 1/3.
3/5 - 1/3 = (3/5)*(3/3) - (1/3)*(5/5) = 9/15 - 5/15 = 4/15
Step 2: Find what fraction of 1/3 is 4/15.
(4/15) / (1/3) = (4/15) * (3/1) = 12/15 = 4/5
Step 3: Convert 4/5 to a percentage.
(4/5) * 100% = 80%
Therefore, 3/5 is 80% more than 1/3.
